Early in the morning, Qing Yi walked out of his mansion carrying a baozi, a Bluetooth headset in his ear: "What? Your strength level has been promoted again?! How could it be so fast!"
Li Ke said on the other end of the phone: "I've been preparing for this, and with Mr. Li Yunjing traveling with me, his protection allowed me to unleash myself."
Li Ke had completed the second Trials of Life and Death challenge and was promoted to E-Class, but he couldn't tell Qing Yi exactly how he had been promoted.
Li Xiurui personally promised Li Yunjing that she would restore his freedom, and even listed him as one of the beneficiaries of the family trust fund, truly making him a member of the Li Clan.
This Grandmaster had spent almost his entire life protecting the Old Master, and after the Old Master's death, he did not leave the Li Clan as everyone had expected, but chose to protect Li Ke instead.
Li Ke once asked Li Yunjing why, since he didn't want to leave the Li Clan, he didn't go to protect his father, Li Yunshou, the current Li Clan Head.
But Li Yunjing's answer was that he was tired of the scenery outside the Baopu Building, which hadn't changed in decades, and wanted to go out for a walk.
Wasn't freedom precious enough? Why stay in the Li Clan?
Li Yunjing's answer was that it was the Li Clan that the Old Master had sacrificed his dreams to protect, and that he had nothing else to do except stay in the Li Clan.
Li Yunjing was like a tree in front of the Baopu Building. It might not be particularly tall, but it didn't sway in the wind or get stained by the mud.
Along the way, Li Ke had been learning from Li Yunjing, learning how to Face[-] danger and training himself to prepare for the Trials of Life and Death challenge.
Having an A-Class Grandmaster as a Guardian was probably quite rare in the Knight lineage.
Moreover, this A-Class Grandmaster had been personally praised by Shadow, who said that he could single-handedly kill Shendai Yunshan, the person the Shendai Family had high hopes for.
At the time, Shadow also said that Li Yunjing's mind was pure and determined, and that he might be the person in the Li Clan with the best chance of becoming a Demi-God, making it a pity that he left the Li Clan.
Qing Yi mumbled on the phone: "You're in the southwest right now, otherwise you could come with me to Forbidden Zone 065."
"What are you doing there?" Li Ke frowned.
"It's just that Shadow has gone crazy, asking all Shadow Candidates to hunt down B-Class experts from the Shendai Family," Qing Yi complained, "According to the rules, our Guardian can only be at most C-Class, how are we supposed to hunt down B-Class experts!"
Li Ke thought for a moment: "I definitely won't be able to go back and help you. Besides, I'm only E-Class myself, and Mr. Li Yunjing is only responsible for protecting me, he won't listen to my orders to kill people, going won't help you. Why don't you just give up this mission?"
Qing Yi whispered: "What if I ask the Boss for help? But that would put him in danger. Although he's very strong, it'll still take some time before he can participate in truly high-intensity combat."
Li Ke said: "I think you should just tell the Boss and let him decide."
"Okay," Qing Yi sighed, "I'll have to suffer in the wilderness again, probably won't even get a hot meal."
Qing Yi took the baozi and went to work at Intelligence Bureau One. He didn't go to Intelligence Agency Three anymore, and was quite familiar with the people at Intelligence Bureau One.
When he arrived at the office, he saw Qing Chen sitting in his office.
Qing Yi hesitated for a moment before entering and saying, "Boss, Shadow wants us to go to Forbidden Zone 065 to hunt down experts from the Shendai Family..."
Qing Chen looked at Qing Yi: "Are you worried that you won't be able to handle it?"
Qing Yi nodded honestly: "Yes."
"Don't worry, I'll go too," Qing Chen said with a smile, "You don't have to hunt down any Shendai Family experts, just stay in the town, let your bodyguard protect you, I'll handle the rest."
Qing Yi's eyes lit up: "Boss, you're the best!"
At this moment, Qing Yi still didn't know that the person who had tricked him into going to Forbidden Zone 065 was the Boss in front of him.
And this wasn't a Shadow Succession mission at all, whether it was completed or not didn't matter...
Qing Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard Qing Yi's thanks...
"Go for Cultivation, I'll impart power to you later," Qing Chen said apologetically. He planned to improve the young man's strength before Qing Yi went to Forbidden Zone 065.
Just then, Yang Xuyang walked in with an LCD screen: "Boss, the Guardians' Union has also appeared in our city recently. Should we deal with it?"
Qing Chen asked: "Why should we care about the Guardians' Union?"
Yang Xuyang was stunned: "I heard it's quite harmful, spreading like a virus. The agents in City 18 are having a headache. I heard they let a Cardinal from the Mechanical God Sect escape yesterday."
Qing Chen said seriously: "Someone is taking care of the Mechanical God Sect, isn't that good? Don't worry about them, let them fight among themselves."
At this moment, he had already started taking sides.
Although Qing Chen said "let them fight among themselves,"
This matter would soon spread through Yang Xuyang, and then everyone's focus would be on the fact that the Supervisor didn't like the Mechanical God Sect.
Then everyone would know what to do.
Yang Xuyang thought for a moment and said, "Boss, a Deacon from the Mechanical God Sect is downstairs. He's here to report the Guardians' Union, hoping that we can stop the spread of the Guardians' Union, which has already threatened their safety. However, the Mechanical God Sect is clearly much stronger than the Guardians' Union in our City 10. The Guardians' Union has just started spreading here, how could it threaten their safety?"
Qing Chen looked at Yang Xuyang: "What do you think we should do?"
Yang Xuyang saw Qing Chen's gaze and suddenly understood something...
He said seriously: "I think we should take this Deacon to the secret prison."
Qing Chen chuckled: "Why take him to the secret prison?"
"Didn't he say that his safety was threatened? We'll lock him up in the secret prison to protect him. We'll release him after the Guardians' Union disappears," Yang Xuyang said.
Qing Chen waved his hand: "I don't want to deal with this, go find Qing Hua, you two decide. By the way, I'll submit a report to the director this month, promoting you to Probationary Supervisor."
Yang Xuyang happily said: "Thank you, Boss!"
After Yang Xuyang left, Qing Yi said seriously: "Boss, the Mechanical God Sect is really unlucky to offend you."
Yang Xuyang left the office with unconcealed joy.
Qing Hua, who was processing documents, glanced at him: "Something good happened?"
"Cough, cough, no, no," Yang Xuyang thought to himself that he hadn't been officially promoted yet, so it was better not to say it out loud: "Brother Hua, send some people with me, I'll go and handle something."
Qing Huan thought for a moment and shouted to the people behind him: "Brothers from Team 2, follow Supervisor Yang."
Yang Xuyang was a little embarrassed: "Ah? Supervisor Yang? Brother Hua, don't say that."
Qing Hua pointed to the office: "Okay, stop pretending, the Boss has already sent me a message to help him write your promotion report. Do a good job for the Boss, don't make any mistakes."
"Aye! Got it!" Yang Xuyang went downstairs with more than ten brothers from Team 2 with a happy smile.
When he got downstairs, he looked at the Deacon: "Where's your Cardinal in City 10? Where is he? Ask him to come to Intelligence Bureau One. Sending only a Deacon is not enough."
The Deacon blushed: "Our Cardinal was taken away by the Guardians' Union!"
Yang Xuyang was stunned. Oh, so the Cardinal who was taken away by the Guardians' Union was from your place...
He had a general idea, and impatiently said to the Deacon: "Can't your Mechanical God Sect handle this problem yourselves? You can't handle a small organization like the Guardians' Union? We can handle it too, but our office budget is limited, and there are many other cases to handle."
The Deacon's expression brightened.
He had only come to try his luck. Even if the PCA Intelligence Bureau didn't want to deal with this matter, they could at least register the Guardians' Union here.
Being targeted by these living Yama Kings was never a good thing.
But he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Yang Xuyang's so-called limited office budget was just a way of asking for a bribe.
In today's Federation, if the PCA Intelligence Bureau readily agreed to help them deal with the Guardians' Union, they would find it suspicious.
But the other party asked for a bribe, which meant that this could probably be done!
As long as the other party was willing to open their mouths, could their Mechanical God Sect, with so many believers, be short of money?
The Deacon politely said: "Regarding the office budget, our Mechanical God Sect is willing to contribute a small amount..."
"A small amount won't do," Yang Xuyang said slowly.
The Deacon thought to himself that he was just being modest. He gritted his teeth and said, "Our Mechanical God Sect is willing to spend a large sum..."
"Okay," Yang Xuyang said carelessly, "Call all the core members of your Mechanical God Sect for a small meeting, bring all the information you have about the Guardians' Union, and let's have a look."
The Deacon felt a little strange, but the matter of the "office budget' dispelled many of his doubts.
After all, these living Yama Kings just wanted some money for the New Year, what's wrong with that?
The Deacon immediately called some core members of the Mechanical God Sect, carrying a small briefcase.
Thirteen people came in total. The Deacon smiled as he opened the briefcase in the meeting room: "This is the funding that the Mechanical God Sect has raised for Intelligence Bureau One."
Inside the briefcase were neatly stacked one-kilogram gold bars!
Yang Xuyang nodded: "Okay."
He turned to the agents of Team 7: "Take all these people from the Mechanical God Sect to the secret prison."
The Deacon was dumbfounded. He didn't dare to resist in the territory of the PCA, but he asked incredulously, "Officer, what are you doing?"
Yang Xuyang said seriously: "You said your safety was threatened, the PCA Intelligence Bureau has the responsibility to protect you. Don't worry, you'll be absolutely safe here. We'll let you go when the Guardians' Union is eliminated."
They had heard before that Intelligence Bureau One was ruthless, but they never expected them to be this ruthless, taking both money and people! ?
Yang Xuyang thought, just catching one person wouldn't do justice to the Boss's promotion report.
When Intelligence Bureau One's living Yama Kings caught people, they always caught them in large numbers.
The most incredible part of this operation was that the Mechanical God Sect not only delivered their people to their doorsteps, but also brought gold bars with them.
At this time, Qing Hua also went out, and he arrested more than a dozen habitual offenders who liked to rob Cybernetic Limbs, claiming that these people were family members of the Guardians' Union, and they were all imprisoned in the secret prison.
When Qing Hua returned to Intelligence Bureau One, Qing Chen looked at him happily: "Why did you arrest these people? They are clearly habitual offenders, not members of the Guardians' Union."
Qing Hua said seriously: "Boss, the Mechanical God Sect is now powerful and has many tricks, and I heard that three Cardinals and a Judge are on their way. You certainly don't need to be afraid of them, but there's no need to become enemies with them so early. Our Intelligence Bureau One arrests people from both sides, this is called fairness and justice, and they can't say anything. If we obviously take sides, it might lead to their retaliation."
